‘The’ Guide for 20th Century Wooden Machinist Tool Chests

An Explanation of the Research done by the Author

The goal of ‘The’ Guide is to present information that will assist the reader to reach a realistic conclusion. ‘The’ Guide is exactly that, a Guide. It is the result of subject research into historical facts and information. The research began in the late 1990’s. Technically, the author is just an old country-boy, not an official Historical Researcher. As with any Guide, some of the researched historical data information is positive proof. A little is a necessary best judgement call, because of the lack of positive proof, and our desire to get a more complete story. ‘The’ Guide does not define which items that are positive proof or best judgement.
